pre op question

I am scheduled for a gastric bypass. Just wondering if you are able to use artificial sweeteners and not cause dumping syndrome. thanks

It does not usually cause dumping symptoms, but I have read it increases gas in some people. I am a splenda user and I have no problems with it.

Yes I use Splenda  and have no problems with it. 
Doctor and Dietician also said that natural sugar is ok.  Added sugar is bad - you can see if it is added or natural on the nutrition label of any food.  The grams of sugar in the actual panel can be deceiving for finding type of sugar so look below it for the list of ingredients and if SUGAR is listed here, it is added sugar which ill cause dumping.  
As with anything, check with your doctor first.
